Mr. Andrews sends Archie to the store to buy a new garbage can. But when Reggie teases Archie about his car, Archie throws the new trashcan over Reggie. Reggie gets stuck in it and dents it a few times getting out, much to Mr. Andrews' dismay.

Archie needs to cut a piece of wood to a specific size to fix his stereo cabinet. He can't find a ruler, so he measures the space with his hands. He then races to the school shop to cut a piece of wood. He falls, goes on an elevator and hits a tree, but still has the measurement as the space between his hands.
